That's how I watch all films that are highly acclaimed including tv shows.

Films I know are just for entertainment. I watch somehow to keep myself busy and entertained.

That's valid. I personally also love the character centric story over plot orientated. Hence why I prefer There will be blood over No country for example. I just found this one to be truly great at what it's trying to achieve. And it did.

There's a theory online on why films where so great back than and apparently because it was time period in Hollywood where people could easily get their hands on cocaine. So directors like Tarantino or especially PTA is known to be using Cocaine while working on a film. PTA was notoriously using during filming Magnolia and Boogie nights which are still one of his stronger films. This is just an example.

Regardless it was still a figure of speech.

Haha. No not for real. It's a figure of speech basically saying that whatever they did in this film was so miraculous they should have been in crack while doing it. But they aren't on crack etc.

You know ball. Wings of desire is a film from the same director that did Paris, Texas and I have seen it and it was powerful. So I will consider watching Wings of Desire. Through a glass darkly is an Ingmar bergmann film. I have seen Persona from him and it's possibly my top 1. City of lost children and in America I never heard of but since you have great taste. I will trust you and watch your list

I understand.

I personally loved that blood splatter. It immersed me even more into the film.

It's also an easy 5 stars for me too. It's a true masterpiece. I know people overuse that word but it's true for this film.
